Former GSK's China head Mr Mark Reilly will be returning to China shortly to assist police with the ongoing corruption probe
Singapore: GlaxoSmithKline's former China head Mr Mark Reilly would be returning to China shortly to assist the police with the ongoing corruption probe, the British drugmaker said in a statement.
After the Chinese authorities detained 18 more employees of the drugmaker, GSK's Melbourne-based spokesperson, Ms Lisa Maguire told the media through a statement that Mr Reilly who was replaced as China head by Herve Gisserot will soon be making his way back to China.
Mr Reilly had left China earlier last month, after four GSK employees were detained for investigation. The company had then claimed that he had gone back to UK for scheduled meetings.
China's Ministry of Public Security has accused GSK of spending $489 million in spurious travel and meeting expenses as well as trade in sexual favors. At a recent earnings announcement conference by GSK's chief financial officer, the company stated that GSK China's sales contribution would be impacted in the second half of 2013.
"GSK's sales contribution from China, where revenue gained 20 percent last year is likely to be impacted by the current inquiries in the second half of 2013. It is too early to quantify this," said Mr Simon Dingemans, chief financial officer, GSK. China accounted for about $1.5 billion in Glaxo sales last year, according to the company.

The twenty-five-hundred-year-old tradition of Jainism, which emphasizes nonviolence as the only true path leading to liberation, offers a worldview seemingly compatible with the goals of environmental activism. But can Jainism adopt a sociocentric environmentalism without compromising its own ascetic principles and spiritual tradition? How does traditional Jain cosmology view the natural world? How might a Jain ethical system respond to decisions regarding the development of dams, the proliferation of automobiles, overcrowding due to overpopulation, or the protection of individual animal species? Can there be a Jain environmental activism that addresses both the traditional concern for individual self-purification and the contemporary dilemma of ecosystem degradation? The voices in this volume reflect the dynamic nature of the Jain faith and its willingness to engage in discussion on a modern social issue.Chapple, Christopher Key is the author of 'Jainism and Ecology Nonviolence in the Web of Life', published 2002 under ISBN 9780945454342 and ISBN 0945454341.[read more]

Hi, everyone.
I've just read an interesting article in the Feb 2017 issue of 'BBC Focus' magazine about what might destroy human civilisation and how The Planet might recover afterwards.
It reckons that 7 days after we all disappeared (assuming it was sudden), our 450 nuclear reactors would start to melt down due to the fuel running emergency cooling systems running out. I can't help wondering why those systems can't run on power from the reactors! But, then, designers of nuclear reactors seem to like to take risks!

WEST virginia legislature
2018 regular session
House Bill 4226
By Delegates Shott, Ellington and Gearheart
[Introduced January 19,
2018; Referred
to the Committee on Education.]
A BILL to amend and reenact §18A-4-8e, of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended; relating to eliminating the competency testing requirement for school service personnel.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
Competency testing for
service personnel; and recertification Certification testing for bus
operators. (a) The state board
shall develop and make available competency tests for all of the classification
titles defined in section eight of this article and listed in section eight-a
of this article for service personnel. The board shall review and, if needed,
update the competency tests at least every five years. Each classification
title defined and listed is considered a separate classification category of employment
for service personnel and has a separate competency test, except for those
class titles having Roman numeral designations, which are considered a single
classification of employment and have a single competency test. (1) The cafeteria
manager class title is included in the same classification category as cooks
and has the same competency test. (2) The executive
secretary class title is included in the same classification category as
secretaries and has the same competency test. (3) The classification
titles of chief mechanic, mechanic and assistant mechanic are included in one
classification title and have the same competency test. (b) The purpose of these
tests is to provide county boards a uniform means of determining whether school
service personnel who do not hold a classification title in a particular
category of employment meet the definition of the classification title in
another category of employment as defined in section eight of this article.
Competency tests may not be used to evaluate employees who hold the
classification title in the category of their employment. (c) The competency test
consists of an objective written or performance test, or both. Applicants may
take the written test orally if requested. Oral tests are recorded mechanically
and kept on file. The oral test is administered by persons who do not know the
applicant personally. (1) The performance test
for all classifications and categories other than bus operator is administered
by an employee of the county board or an employee of a multicounty vocational
school that serves the county at a location designated by the superintendent
and approved by the board. The location may be a vocational school that serves
the county. (2) A standard passing
score is established by the state Department of Education for each test and is
used by county boards. (3) The subject matter
of each competency test is commensurate with the requirements of the
definitions of the classification titles as provided in section eight of this
article. The subject matter of each competency test is designed in such a
manner that achieving a passing grade does not require knowledge and skill in
excess of the requirements of the definitions of the classification titles.
Achieving a passing score conclusively demonstrates the qualification of an
applicant for a classification title. (4) Once an employee
passes the competency test of a classification title, the applicant is fully
qualified to fill vacancies in that classification category of employment as provided
in section eight-b of this article and may not be required to take the
competency test again. (d) An applicant who
fails to achieve a passing score is given other opportunities to pass the
competency test when applying for another vacancy within the classification
category. (e) Competency tests are
administered to applicants in a uniform manner under uniform testing
conditions. County boards are responsible for scheduling competency tests,
notifying applicants of the date and time of the test. County boards may not
use a competency test other than the test authorized by this section. (f) When scheduling of
the competency test conflicts with the work schedule of a school employee who
has applied for a vacancy, the employee is excused from work to take the
competency test without loss of pay. (g) Competency tests are
used to determine the qualification of new applicants seeking initial
employment in a particular classification title as either a regular or
substitute employee. (h) Notwithstanding any
provisions in this code to the contrary, once an employee holds or has held a
classification title in a category of employment, that employee is considered
qualified for the classification title even though that employee no longer
holds that classification. (i) The requirements of
this section do not alter the definitions of class titles as provided in
section eight of this article or the procedure and requirements of section
eight-b of this article (j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this code to
the contrary and notwithstanding any rules of the school board concerning
school bus operator certification, the certification test for school bus
operators shall be required as follows, and school bus operators may not be
required to take the certification test more frequently:
(1) For substitute school bus operators and for school bus operators with regular employee status but on a probationary contract, the certification test shall be administered annually;
(2) For school bus operators with regular employee status and continuing contract status, the certification test shall be administered triennially; and
(3) For substitute school bus operators who are retired from a county board and who at the time of retirement had ten years of experience as a regular full-time bus operator, the certification test shall be administered triennially.
(4) School bus operator certificate.
(A) A school bus operator certificate may be issued to a person who has attained the age of twenty-one, completed the required training set forth in state board rule, and met the physical requirements and other criteria to operate a school bus set forth in state board rule.
(B) The state superintendent may, after ten days' notice and upon proper evidence, revoke the certificate of any bus operator for any of the following causes:
(i) Intemperance, untruthfulness, cruelty or immorality;
(ii) Conviction of or guilty plea or plea of no contest to a felony charge;
(iii) Conviction of or guilty plea or plea of no contest to any charge involving sexual misconduct with a minor or a student;
(iv) Just and sufficient cause for revocation as specified by state board rule; and
(v) Using fraudulent, unapproved or insufficient credit to obtain the certificates.
(vi) Of the causes for certificate revocation listed in this paragraph (B), the following causes constitute grounds for revocation only if there is a rational nexus between the conduct of the bus operator and the performance of the job:
(I) Intemperance, untruthfulness, cruelty or immorality;
(II) Just and sufficient cause for revocation as specified by state board rule; and
(III) Using fraudulent, unapproved or insufficient credit to obtain the certificate.
(C) The certificate of a bus operator may not be revoked for either of the following unless it can be proven by clear and convincing evidence that the bus operator has committed one of the offenses listed in this subsection and his or her actions render him or her unfit to operate a school bus:
(i) Any matter for which the bus operator was disciplined, less than dismissal, by the employing county board; or
(ii) Any matter for which the bus operator is meeting or has met an improvement plan determined by the county board.
(D) The state superintendent shall designate a review panel to conduct hearings on certificate revocations or denials and make recommendations for action by the state superintendent. The state board, after consultation with employee organizations representing school service personnel, shall promulgate a rule to establish the review panel membership and composition, method of appointment, governing principles and meeting schedule.
(E) It is the duty of any county superintendent who knows of any acts on the part of a bus operator for which a certificate may be revoked in accordance with this section to report the same, together with all the facts and evidence, to the state superintendent for such action as in the state superintendent's judgment may be proper.
(F) If a certificate has been granted through an error, oversight or misinformation, the state superintendent may recall the certificate and make such corrections as will conform to the requirements of law and state board rules.
(5) The state board shall promulgate, in accordance with §29A-3B-1 et seq. of this code, revised rules in compliance with this subsection.
NOTE: This purpose of this bill is to eliminate the competency testing requirement for school service personnel.
Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken from a heading or the present law and underscoring indicates new language that would be added.

Re: The Choice: IPv4 Exhaustion or Transition to IPv6
Hi John, I wasnt specifically thinking of reclamation of space, I was noting a couple of things: - that less than 50% of the v4 space is currently routed. scarcity will presumably cause these non-routed blocks to be: :- used and routes :- reclaimed and reassigned :- sold on - that much of the space in use within organisations could be optimised :- mop up unused gaps in subnet :- return IPs to the org's pool by forcing departments onto NATs Pushing to NAT is on the face of it similar to pushing for early adoption of v6 whereby v6-v4 gateways provide a translation. However the technology for NATs is well established, widely deployed, cheap and very understandable to any IT guy. You also refer to routing table size. The current routing table is growing quickly but people have been predicting the tables will outgrow the technology for many years but in each case new hardware gets released and on modern routers we can take significant growth (400%?). I dont believe routing table size comes into play in this, the simple reason is that whatever we say there will always be companies willing to take routes for money and it doesnt matter who or where they are because the rest of the world just has to route it. I dont think that hierarchical routing will ever be a reality in todays diverse internet backbone, to not be a top tier carrier with your own ASN, and a full set of routes means you are closing your doors on selling transit. There are many thousand organisations making money from that, I cant see 99% of them bowing out gracefully to leave a few 'tier1s' behind.. that would be like turning back the clock 15 years.

Developers halt plans for Carrboro CVS
From Daily Tarheel
Developers have pulled the application for a CVS/Pharmacy at the site, meaning there are no current development plans for a CVS at that location, according to the Active Project Report for Carrboro from earlier this year.
The developer pulled the CVS proposal after members of the Carrboro Board of Alderman said they likely wouldn't rezone the property and repeatedly delayed their discussion of the site, said Martin Roupe, the town's development review administrator, in the report.
Trish McGuire, planning director of Carrboro , said while the board did not initially wish to rezone the property, they would have considered a revised plan for the business. She has not heard from the developers since they pulled the application.

text: Show Hide image Culture 21 May 2009 Wolf Hall Sign-up Historical novels set in 16th-century England – especially accounts of the marital woes of Henry VIII – usually follow a Hollywood-friendly template of heaving bodices, well-filled hose and pointy-bearded intriguers. In the hands of Hilary Mantel, Tudor kitsch becomes something darker and less digestible. Wolf Hall takes a forensic slice through a nation caught between feudalism and capitalism, the Middle Ages and modernity, Catholicism and the revolutionary doctrines emerging from the Continent. Memories of the disastrous dynastic wars of the previous century are still fresh, and fears of another are growing. As there is little national, so there is no personal, security: noble and commoner alike are only ever a step away from their legal transformation into a mangled corpse or a smouldering residue of "mud, grease, charred bone". Mantel's hero for this age of uncertainty is Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith's son who rose to one of the highest offices of the land before fatally offending Henry himself. The novel, largely set from 1527 onwards, traces the crest of his career – his elevation from trusted servant of Cardinal Wolsey to the cardinal's own position as Henry's most loyal servant. Cromwell, whose reputation as a villainous schemer was cemented in A Man for All Seasons, seems a perverse choice of hero. But this Cromwell is resolutely modern: a lawyer, accountant, merchant, arbitrator and inventive provider of what would now be called financial services. In the midst of superstition, corruption and brutality, he is a champion of reason and – unlike other, less scrupulous members of the nobility – of the rule of law. Mantel also turns his rival Thomas More's reputation on its head; he is less a saint than a sneering fanatic who bullies his wife and courts his own execution. Much of Cromwell's polish is acquired in the service of Wolsey, an irresistible figure, "like a great leopard", comfortable, charming and humane, who will "burn books, but not men". The cardinal's fall from favour in 1529 thrusts Cromwell into a court consumed by manoeuvring to extricate Henry from his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and England from its duty of obedience to the pope. Wolf Hall gives an intricate but absorbing account of the tussle between the vested interests around the jilted queen and the rising favourite, Anne Boleyn, led by Anne's uncle the Duke of Norfolk. The verbal fencing of court life plays to Mantel's own biting humour: Boleyn, "a cold slick brain at work behind her hungry black eyes", develops a reluctant respect for Cromwell when he replies: "You may be, I hardly know you," to her sarcastic suggestion that she is "a simple person". Mantel's last novel, Beyond Black, was a dark comedy about mediums and spiritualism, and Wolf Hall's characters are similarly prey to charlatanry and obfuscation. Wolsey advises his protégé to "find out what people wear under their clothes": discoveries that invariably reflect the cruelties and superstitions of the age. The Duke of Norfolk rattles when he moves because of scores of concealed holy medals and relics, More "wears a jerkin of horsehair", and after Wolsey's death in 1530, his servant finds another such instrument of mortification beneath the cardinal's sumptuous robes – a horsehair belt. Thomas Cromwell finds all this alternately sad and ridiculous. Mantel garlands him with enlightened virtues, some of which verge on the anachronistic: he loves dogs, is a Europhile with a taste for torta di funghi, and observes to Henry that overhunting has wiped out England's bears, wolves and wild boar. He is a kind husband, father and patron to a large household, as well as a freethinker who keeps a pirated edition of Tyndale's English translation of the Bible. Even when he loses his wife and children to disease, he refuses to take comfort in cant: "It's not the hand of God kills our children. It's disease and hunger and war, rat-bites and bad air and the miasma from plague pits." All this might be a bit much, were he not also something of a bruiser: Wolsey says he looks "like one of those square-shaped fighting dogs low men tow about on ropes". Mantel's prose, like her hero, is witty and tough-minded. "That would be ideal, for fiscal purposes," Cromwell tells Henry when the outraged king demands if he should "cower" at home rather than go to war. The dialogue slips between English, Latin, Spanish, French, Flemish, Greek and the slang of Putney boatmen; Cromwell, as a professional middleman and polyglot, must make sense of a world awash with new words and ideas. "I am always translating," he thinks, "if not language to language, then person to person." (Thomas More, by contrast, "would, for a difference in your Greek, kill you".) The novel ends abruptly in 1535, bitten off before the events that loom over its pages: Boleyn's execution and Cromwell's own downfall at the hands of her uncle. "It is time to say what England is . . . It is time to say what a king is," Cromwell resolves, in the upheaval over Henry's remarriage. He may not be a romantic hero, but Wolf Hall's lawyer is, for a short while at least, the man for changing times.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – A 4-year-old boy who was in serious condition after a fatal day care crash in Winter Park was released from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon.
Parents of some of the children injured in the crash at a Winter Park day care said this past week has felt like a nightmare. Some are staying at housing near Arnold Palmer -- similar to the Ronald McDonald house -- and have been at the hospital around the clock.
WKMG-TV reports 4-year-old Kaleb Infante was released Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. from Arnold Palmer Hospital with a dozen balloons tied to his wheelchair and a wagon full of stuffed animals, drawings and things his friends and family brought to the hospital.
His mom, Megan Bish, said that while Kaleb hasn't come close to recovering, he's been singing from his hospital bed.
"He's acting more like himself every day," Bish said. "He wants to get out, like he doesn't want to be in the bed. He's asking to get in his walker and get in the wheel chair and go around."
Bish said her son loves riding tractors and playing in the mud, but she said it will be a long time before life will be normal like that again for him.
Kaleb's teacher pulled him from underneath the car that crashed through his classroom last Wednesday morning.
"His femur is broken, he has a fracture in his pelvis, he has third-degree burns on his leg, and second and third-degree burns over the rest of his body," Bish said.
Kaleb's road to recovery is just beginning. He'll have to return for skin grafts within the next week and another surgery on his leg will happen down the road.
"Hopefully he doesn't have any permanent issue with his leg. That's going to be the biggest thing," Bish said. "They're worried it sealed off his growth plate and he's going to have no more growth in that leg, and if that happens then its going to be major."
With the hospital bills already mounting up and the recovery it will cost for Kaleb in the future, Bish said she is going to need help.
"They told us a little bit about how much it would be and I know he's going to have to have specialist visits for about 18 months and the wheel chair and the walker," Bish said.
A Gofundme account has been set to help the family pay for those medical expenses. Click here to make a donation.
"I'm angry that somebody would leave the scene but I don't really have time to think about that. That's not important. I can deal with that later. I'm more worried about getting him OK," Bish said.
Kaleb is one of 11 children who were injured at taken to Arnold Palmer last week. Dane Kelley was discharged on Saturday after spending four days and three nights there.
Dane's mom, Amber Zallenick, says her son remembers "the cool fireman" who took him to the hospital. Also at home recovering is Jade Lawrence. Jade's mom, Nicki Lawrence, made her a GoFundMe page where people can make donations. She says Jade was pinned under the car that crashed into her classroom and has a broken femur.
Three-year-old June DeCaldzada is still in the Intensive Care Unit. Her mother told WKMG-TV she is making progress but doctors say she will be in the hospital for at least another month.

2012-13 RTC Conference Primers: Horizon LeaguePosted by Brian Goodman on October 29th, 2012
Ethan Back is the Horizon League correspondent for RTC.
Top Storylines
- The Departure of Butler: It's pretty crazy to think that the Horizon League has produced two of the last three runners-up in the NCAA Tournament, but Butler did indeed reach the final game of the season in both 2010 and 2011. The Bulldogs have been the reason why the conference receives the national attention that it does, but they are now members of the A-10. What does this mean for the conference? Wright State head coach Billy Donlon and Cleveland State head coach Gary Waters don't seem to think much of the departure, as the former noted that Butler finished fifth in the conference a season ago, and the latter speculated that the Bulldogs would not have been the favorites this season. Despite this, Butler's departure has been covered extensively by the national media, and we will be able to see its effects in the seasons to come.
- Will Valparaiso Dominate Conference Play? Results from the Media Day polls would seem to indicate that Valparaiso will indeed dominate the Horizon League, as the Crusaders received 40 of the possible 44 first-place votes this preseason. Valpo went 14-4 in conference last year, and returns reigning Player of the Year Ryan Broekhoff and first team all-Horizon League forward Kevin Van Wijk. Reaching the NCAA Tournament will be the goal for the Crusaders, as this was a feat they were unable to accomplish one season ago.
- Year Three of the McCallum Experiment: Two elite recruits, ranked #17 and #33 in the 2010 ESPN 100, both decided to play for their fathers at mid-major schools in Michigan. Things haven't turned out so well for the player ranked #33 in his class, as Trey Zeigler transferred from Central Michigan to Pittsburgh after his dad's firing. For Ray McCallum, Jr., the seventeenth-best recruit of his class, things have worked out just fine. Detroit reached the NCAA Tournament last season after winning the Horizon League Tournament largely due to the contributions of the younger McCallum on the court and of his father, Ray McCallum, Sr., on the sidelines. The junior point guard has high expectations this season, as he was named the conference's preseason Player of the Year.

text: I have a question about the nicely laid out graphic we all look at every day. I'll use tomorrow as an example in Monmouth County. If you look at the line on the chart, it says it should be just below knee high. But if you mouse over it, it says the swell will be .4 feet fall. That is barely ankle high. Why does the chart read that it will be bigger than the swell is reported as being? Other examples would be it says 2.5 feet but chest high, or 2.5 foot swell but ankle high.

- Synopsis
- Why do we feel insulted or exasperated when our friends and family don't answer their mobile phones? If the Internet has allowed us to broaden our social world into a virtual friend-net, the mobile phone is an instrument of a more intimate social sphere. The mobile phone provides a taken-for-granted link to the people to whom we are closest; when we are without it, social and domestic disarray may result. In just a few years, the mobile phone has become central to the functioning of society. In this book, Rich Ling explores the process by which the mobile phone has become embedded in society, comparing it to earlier technologies that changed the character of our social interaction and, along the way, became taken for granted. Ling, drawing on research, interviews, and quantitative material, shows how the mobile phone (and the clock and the automobile before it) can be regarded as a social mediation technology, with a critical mass of users, a supporting ideology, changes in the social ecology, and a web of mutual expectations regarding use. By examining the similarities and synergies among these three technologies, Ling sheds a more general light on how technical systems become embedded in society and how they support social interaction within the closest sphere of friends and family

text: When the history books of the future are written, Alan Turing will go down in the company of Newton and Darwin and Einstein. His visions changed how humanity conceives of computation, information and pattern -- and 100 years after his birthday, and 58 years after his tragic death, Turing's legacy is alive and growing. In celebration of his achievements, the Royal Society, the world's oldest scientific fellowship -- Newton was once its president -- published two entire journal issues devoted to Turing's ongoing influence. On the following pages, Wired looks at some of the highlights. Above: Turing at War Though he hardly fit the image of a soldier, Alan Turing had the heart of one. With war on the horizon, Turing joined the British government's codebreaking office in 1938, and one year later turned the full force of his intellect on Enigma, the seemingly uncrackable German cryptography system. "No one else was doing anything about it and I could have it to myself," he said of his decision. In a tour-de-force of logic, information theory and sheer insight, Turing designed the machines that by summer 1940 allowed Allied forces to decipher German communications. Winston Churchill would later describe it as the single largest contribution to Allied victory. Without it, the war may have had a different ending. Photographed above is a statue of Turing in the wartime codebreaking headquarters of Bletchley Park. Image: John Callas/FlickrThe Essential Computer Often called the father of computer science, Turing's 1936 paper "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem," articulated ideas that became technological bedrock: that any computable problem could be computed on a machine, with calculations controlled by means of encoded instructions; and that code, rather than machine, was the essence of a computer. A straightforward example of this is videogame emulation: Ambience aside, it doesn't matter if Asteroids is played on an arcade cabinet or Atari 2600 or the latest monster gaming laptop. It's just a set of instructions. Of course, all those examples involve hardware self-evidently recognized as computers, but the concept extends to any programmable system. With the right interface, Asteroids could conceivably be played on a computer made from DNA, the design of which is now being pursued by some 60 laboratories around the world. Image: String of DNA (above) seen under an electron microscope, running instructions encoded (representation below) in its constituent molecules. (Winfree et al./Nature) Citations: "Computing by molecular self-assembly." Natasa Jonoska and Nadrian C. Seeman. Interface Focus, February 8, 2012. "A mechanical Turing machine: blueprint for a biomolecular computer." By Ehud Shapiro, Interface Focus, March 21, 2012.Patterns of the World In the decade after World War II, Turing turned his curiosity to nature's patterns, in particular shapes and patterns in animal bodies. His hypothesized explanation dovetailed conceptually with his computational ideas of code as universal: Turing proposed that biological patterns, whatever the animal or system, emerged from a simple type of chemical interaction. He called this a reaction-diffusion system: one chemical makes more of itself, another slows production of the first chemical, and some mechanism diffuses the chemicals across a concentration gradient. Out of this generic behavior, proposed Turing, the most fantastically complex patterns could arise. Turing himself didn't live to test his ideas, but the 1952 paper describing them, "The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis," would become one of the most cited papers in scientific history and helped lay the conceptual groundwork for modern self-organization theory. Below, a reaction-diffusion system involving two chemicals spreading through a tray of gelatin that is slightly deeper at one end. Changes in distance from the chemicals' source and the gel's depth produce marked changes in pattern.

Murray. Interface Focus, 1 February 2012.Turing Patterns for Computation The configurations produced by reaction-diffusion systems are called Turing patterns, and in a neatly meta recursion of his thinking, they can be seen as systems of information storage suitable for use in computing. Instead of binary ones and zeros, a chemical computer might run code based on a chemical number system, with each Turing pattern -- like those seen above in a simple experimental setup -- representing a single unit of information. Image: Szalai et al./Interface Focus Citation: "Chemical morphogenesis: recent experimental advances in reaction−diffusion system design and control." By István Szalai, Daniel Cuiñas, Nándor Takács, Judit Horváth and Patrick De Kepper. Interface Focus, March 27, 2012.Cellular Turing Turing proposed that reaction-diffusion systems might explain many types of cellular organization. Scientists now search for evidence of Turing's patterns in our bodies. One place they appear to exist is in stem cells that become blood vessels. In the photograph above, blood vessel tissue structures are compared to reaction-diffusion simulation patterns. This line of research might eventually guide tissue engineering and other regenerative medicine techniques.

Wong, Yin Tintut, Linda L. Demer, Chih-Ming Ho and Alan Garfinkel. Interface Focus, June 18, 2012.Turing's Wings Many natural patterns do not arise from Turing's reaction-diffusion systems. Some are produced by what's known as morphogen-gradient reactions, in which a pattern-governing substance diffuses outwards from a single point source. Patterns of veins on fruit fly wings, for example, are produced by morphogen-gradient reactions, a finding that originally suggested an absence of Turing patterns in insect wings. But fruit flies are very simple creatures, and more complex wings, such as those of the Orosanga japonicus moth, appear to have Turing-patterned vein structures. Turn on a porch light on a summer night and Turing's wings will be drawn to you. In the image above, reaction-diffusion patterns are compared to O. japonicus wing veins. Below are two sets of O. japonicus wings. Images: Yoshimoto et al./Interface Focus Citation: "Wing vein patterns of the Hemiptera insect Orosanga japonicus differ among individuals." By Eiichi Yoshimoto and Shigeru Kondo. Interface Focus, June 18, 2012.Hair and Skin Decades passed before Turing's ideas could be rigorously explored in biology, but the molecular revolution allowed scientists to move beyond identifying patterns and into the underlying biochemistry. Mammalian hair patterns are Turing patterns, and in the image above the follicle arrangement of a mouse embryo is juxtaposed with a diagram of the genetic pathway guiding it. Image: Painter et al./Interface Focus Citation: "Towards an integrated experimental – theoretical approach for assessing the mechanistic basis of hair and feather morphogenesis." By K. J. Painter, G. S. Hunt, K. L. Wells, Johansson and D. J. Headon. Interface Focus, June 18, 2012.A Turing Test for Free Will One of Turing's best-known ideas is the Turing test, proposed in his 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" as a method of judging machine intelligence. If a computer could pass as human in conversation, wrote Turing, then for all practical purposes it could think. What occurred inside its machine mind was far less important than the outcome. Turing was also fascinated by the nature of free will: whether it truly existed or was only an illusion disguising a deterministic universe in which events unfolded in unalterable, preordained fashion. In fact, Turing became fascinated with quantum mechanics in part because its particle indeterminacies and unpredictability suggested a basis in physics for free will. In "A Turing Test for Free Will," mechanical engineer Seth Lloyd of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology combines these currents of Turing's thoughts. The upshot: If you believe you have free will, then you do. Image: Michael Lehet/Flickr Citation: "A Turing Test for Free Will." By Seth Lloyd. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, July 28, 2012.A Lesson in Tolerance Turing's legacy lives on in the digital world, the biological world, and perhaps at scales we're just beginning to comprehend: As seen above, the Whirlpool galaxy looks uncannily similar to cellular swirls in a slime mold. It's hard not to wonder what Turing would have accomplished had he lived. Not long before his death, he wrote to a colleague, "I'm trying to invent a new Quantum Mechanics but it won't really work. How about coming here next week and making it work for me?" -- a line delivered in jest, but no doubt containing a grain of promise. That promise would never be realized. In mid-century Great Britain, homosexuality was a crime, and in 1952 Turing was tried and convicted in a high-profile trial. His security clearance was revoked. Given the choice between imprisonment or hormonal castration, he chose the chemicals. Publicly shamed and persecuted, this war hero and scientific titan took his own life, eating a poison-laced apple just two weeks before his 42nd birthday. On Turing's birthday, however, let the final note be one of celebration. Below is a picture of Alan Turing drawn by his mother in 1923, a fitting tribute to all odd children who stare into flowers and see the universe.

AP retracts Terry McAuliffe report
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Associated Press has withdrawn its story about documents in a federal fraud case alleging that Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe lied to a federal official investigating a death benefits scheme. The indictment did not identify McAuliffe as the "T.M." who allegedly lied to investigators.
USA TODAY ran the story on its website on Wednesday.

Shared Topic: Posting blog links on Armory
No, posting blog links on the Armory isn't a new feature. But say it was. Would you post a link to your blog?
Yep, it's time for a Shared Topic! This one was suggested by Anea of Oh Look, An Alt! and you can find other takes by checking out the forum at Blog Azeroth. (And even if you don't want to read Shared Topics, you should go to Blog Azeroth anyway because I said so.)
So would you post a link to your blog on the Armory?
I totally would.
Granted, had I been asked that question 6 months ago, my response would have been more along the lines of: "OMFG NO! WTF ARE YOU THINKING!" Then I would have panicked for a few minutes at the thought of strangers reading my pitiful attempts at writing about WoW.
And it seems pretty unanimous among those who've responded so far that posting a blog link on our Armory page isn't appealing.
Still, I would do it.
While it took me awhile to get the hang of writing (and I'm still pretty embarrassed about my early posts), I'm comfortable with my content. When I blog, I keep in the back of my mind that anything here may be read by anyone. It's just how I am.
We have this illusion of anonymity on the internet, but that's all it is, an illusion. I wouldn't be surprised if a potential employer came across my blog. And if I'm comfortable with a potential employer reading my blog, I really don't have a problem with random strangers reading it. Besides, having random strangers read it is kind of the point of having a public WoW blog in the first place (in hopes, of course, that these strangers will lose their stranger status).
A question asked the other bloggers who've answered the topic so far has been: Who would be armoring me anyway?
I don't think my armory page gets many hits. Maybe some from guildies (who know about my blog anyway), maybe some from former guildies (who also know about my blog), maybe some from blog readers (who obviously know about my blog). But other than that? I rarely PuG or PvP, I'm not vocal on my server. No one cares about my armory. (Wow, that actually sounds kind of emo, hmm….)
Even in the rare chance that I piss someone off to the point where they go to the armory, find my blog link and give me a hard time, so what?
Another point raised by others who've answered this topic is: What if I'm applying to a guild?
After all the discussions about guilds and blogging, it's been made very clear that different bloggers have different relationships with their blogs and their guilds.
There are some bloggers who seem to go as far as take pleasure in bashing guildies on their blogs. I can understand how they may not enjoy a new guild reading their blog. On a less extreme side of the secrecy half of the blogging spectrum, a few bloggers said that they just enjoy their privacy, their right to talk about the game without guildies breathing down their neck. I can certainly respect that.
Personally, though, if a guild can't take my blog we have a problem. I don't see why they would have a problem with my goody-goody, very PC, OMG-lets-all-love-each-other-and-be-friends style, but as we've all discovered at one point or another, people read what they want into your writing. And since getting used to a new guild is something I'd like to not do too often, I'd prefer to know ahead of time if they'd iffy with the topics I blog about, with my articulateness (or lack thereof) or with my personality. Maybe not so much when I was a new blogger (note that my GM recently made sure the world knew that I didn't link my blog in my application). Now that I have decent sample size of posts, though, some very personal, some very dry, some very WTF, making sure a new guild is fine with my blog before I join would a be a top priority.
So, yes, I would link to my blog on my Armory page.
I don't think it would generate much traffic (and I must admit, I would be very curious as to exactly how much traffic it would generate), but I don't see why I wouldn't link to myself. Shamelessness FTW.Explore posts in the same categories: Blogging

Seeing as my blog has evolved into one part half-assed attempts at being helpful and two parts mental landfill of humor and QQ…
Sure, I'd link mine in my Armory. Sometimes I bitch about something in guild that's happening, or how I don't get a piece I think I deserved, but I never do so unjustifiably.
I think, overall, people would be impressed that such high DPS and general awesomeness can come out of a person whose thoughts are as disorganized as books in a dyslexic library.
Or whose jokes are as tasteless as a Healthy Choice TV dinner. Yuck.

Killarney Heights High School
Broken leg draws on my experience in the 'Broken leg' music video for Australian rock band Bluejuice. This piece shows another way of viewing this sport – rather than the physicality of skills involved, Broken leg captures the lighting, movement and unsuspecting shapes formed during a skipping performance. Through experimenting with glowsticks, dark lighting, various shutter speeds and the cascading transparencies, Broken leg gives glimpses of the impact which skipping has had on my life.
'I'm interested in how our whole body experiences space; the fact that space and ourselves are unfolded into one another. It's about how our memory – our past and immediate memory – affects everything'
Discuss how this quote by Janet Laurence can also relate to Kieran Tan's body of work. How do the materials used in Laurence's In stance of memory and Tan's artwork relate to the concept of how the 'whole body experiences space'?
The human trace or traces of memory is a predominant aspect of both Laurence's and Tan's work. Research other Australian artists who have considered this concept and compare their approach to these artists.

UFO Sighting New York October 13, 2010 (new video analysis)
This is my second video analysis of the UFO sighting over New York October 13, 2010. This version is shorter with better audio (my own music), based on the same raw CBS UFO footage (see link below). A must see for all New Yorkers, yeah everyone, who wan´t some answers. According to NORAD, no weatherballoons were launched, but there were lots of partyballoons in the sky over New York together with real UFOs, read more here…

If you didn't get enough cathartic revenge for historical wrongs from Django Unchained, then rejoice. Quentin Tarantino isn't done showing the victims of racial abuse rising up and killing the oppressors. His third alt-history movie, Killer Crow, tells the story of African American soldiers during World War II who go on a crazy rampage and kill every white person in sight.
Talking to Harvard's Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Tarantino explains:
My original idea for Inglourious Basterds way back when was that this [would be] a huge story that included the [smaller] story that you saw in the film, but also followed a bunch of black troops, and they had been f—ked over by the American military and kind of go apes—t. They basically — the way Lt. Aldo Raines (Brad Pitt) and the Basterds are having an "Apache resistance" — [the] black troops go on an Apache warpath and kill a bunch of white soldiers and white officers on a military base and are just making a warpath to Switzerland.
So that was always going to be part of it. And I was going to do it as a miniseries, and that was going to be one of the big storylines. When I decided to try to turn it into a movie, that was a section I had to take out to help tame my material. I have most of that written. It's ready to go; I just have to write the second half of it.... It would be [connected to] Inglourious Basterds, too, because Inglourious Basterds are in it, but it is about the soldiers. It would be called Killer Crow or something like that.

The records available on the site, including the 1851 Anglo-Jewry Database, are worth far more than the cost of a membership, yet they are but a small part of the benefits of belonging to the society. A few of the other benefits, include access to their Library and Resource Center and copies of Shemot, which is the society journal.
Regardless of how long one has been researching his or her family, it is always nice to get together with others with the same interests. The JGSGB is a leader in providing outlets for this to happen. In addition to the annual Manchester Regional Conference, which will be on May 8th of this year, and the annual London Conference, which will be on the 30th of October, the society has a calendar that appears to have something going almost weekly. Included in those events are the Special Interest Group (SIG) and Regional Group meetings.
The society has seven regional groups including; The Chilterns Group, East of London, Leeds, Manchester, Oxford, South Coast and South West London groups. These provide a great opportunity for members to get together and help one another. If your interests are more specific, there are 6 SIG's for research help. They are; Anglo-Jewish, Dutch, Eastern European, German, Sephardic and South African.
The Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain is a great place to begin your research. If you have any questions, visit the website, or contact them directly. If nothing else, you will meet some of the nicest people. If your in London in October, please come to the conference and say hello, it's always nice to meet new genealogists.

As mentioned in my previous blog I feel that SIP applications are the next generation of applications for Desktop, Web and Mobile. By the will of Almighty, today I will be discussing the structure of SIP applications.
We will see the main layers of the application and discuss them in bottom up approach. Any SIP application will contain 3 layers. Topmost is the Application Layer - where all the logics of the application resides and which takes care of the SIP packets. Then comes SIP Stack it self, which is responsible for abstracting the SIP packets from the application developer by providing an API to do the low level SIP stuffs. Lastly comes the Transport layer that is responsible for carrying the SIP packets and sending them to the intended destination; the SIP stack is very closely binded with this layer as it will provide transport for common protocols and developers has to extends the transport API to add more transport layer protocols.
Almost any transport layer protocol can be used with SIP as long as the SIP stack recognizes it. The most commonly used transport layer protocol is UDP; on some occasions TCP and TLS are also used. We all know that all networks are converging towards IP backbone and as those protocols are IP based it should be more convenient for developers in future as they will not have to write SIP transport layers for different protocols. One challenge would be from Cell Phone to BTS; so SIP stack providers for Cell phone will have to implement transport layer for GSM and CDMA phones.
IMHO the most important layer of the application structure is SIP stack. This will abstract the SIP packets and Transport layer hassles from the developers and will provide them API's to call and use them to make an SIP application. There are quite a few SIP stacks available such as reSIProcate, Jain SIP (JSR-32) and SIP Servlet (JSR-000116). Among them SIP Servlet Application (archives with sar extensions) is usually deployed in Java EE Container (BEA Weblogic, IBM Websphere, GlassFish-SailFin) or SIP Container implementing SIP Servlet. Personally I have used Jain SIP and its simplicity in usage and good API structure has created liking in me for it. In my blogs related to SIP I will be using this stack to develop examples. I will also discuss about SailFin.
Application layer is where everybody gets to exercise their innovations. Now is the time to generates SIP centric ideas and implementing them. All SIP application can be categorized in four categories -
- Registrar Server - A server responsible to register a SIP user and its location
- Proxy Server - A server responsible to act as the main server where as it is nothing but a proxy and knows which is the real server
- Redirect Server - A server that redirects request to another server; an example of this functionality would be load balancing of requests
- User Agent - This is a client side entity responsible for communicating with the server and server the Client's request. Anything could be user agent such as PC Software, Cell Phone, Refrigerator, Television, Microwave Owen etc.
Developers can develop applications that serve any of these purposes.
By the will of Almighty, I will soon make some postings about what could be SIP applications.

The Sudeten German Landsmannschaft, an organization representing the interests of Sudeten Germans expelled from Czechoslovakia after World War II, on the grounds of the so-called Benes decrees, will no longer strive for the return of property to the expellees and their descendants, according to a statement the organization released to the press on Sunday. At a weekend conference the SL amended its statutes, dropping the passage stating it would fight for the return of confiscated Sudeten German property and replacing it with a commitment to strive for a European arrangement where basic human rights, including the right to a homeland and self-determination would be fully respected. The organization says it will strive for the Charter of Fundamental Rights to be valid across the EU. Former Czech president Vaclav Klaus demanded an exemption from the charter for his country on the grounds that it could open the door to a wave of Sudeten German property claims, but the present centre-left government said last year it no longer wanted the opt-out. The possibility of Sudeten German restitutions have been a major issue of contention between the two countries.
Several dozen people gathered on Prague's Old Town Square on Sunday to
pay tribute to the slain Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov. The event
was organized by the association Prague Majdan. Those present signed a
petition in support of extending the EU sanctions against Russia and
likewise expressed support for Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko, who is
holding a hunger strike in a Russian prison.
Czech political leaders on Saturday condemned the murder of Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov and urged the authorities to conduct an impartial and transparent investigation. Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said that in Nemtsov Russia had lost a leading authority and upstanding defender of democratic values and human rights.
The decision whether to extend EU sanctions against Russia should not be rushed, Czech Foreign Minister Lubomír Zaorálek told Czech Television on Sunday. Mr. Zaorálek noted that the present sanctions are due to expire on July 31 and a decision by the European Council could come as early as mid-March. While some EU members are pressing for a speedy decision, the Czech foreign minister is advising prudence, saying that it would be logical to wait and see how Russia adhered to the Minsk peace deal before deciding whether to extend sanctions. The ceasefire appears to be taking hold in Donbass with heavy weapons being withdrawn and prisoners exchanged and this positive development should be encouraged, Mr. Zaorálek told Czech Television.
Autopsies on the victims of the shooting in Uhersky Brod have revealed that they died almost immediately and could not have been saved even with prompt medical care, according to State Attorney Roma Kafka, who has been assigned to the case. The state attorney rejected speculation that the victims had lain there injured for tens of minutes and that had the police stormed the pub sooner some of them could have been saved. He said the attacker had aimed for lethal areas, mostly the head and neck, and inflicted fatal injuries.
Interior Minister Milan Chovanec has once again defended the police operation in the town of Uherský Brod where a deranged man shot eight people dead in a pub on Tuesday. The interior minister told commercial TV Prima that on the grounds of the information he had the police could not be faulted in its actions. He said, however, that should it emerge from the ongoing investigation that the police had failed in its duty then corrective measures would be taken. Some witnesses have criticized the police over their handling of the incident, saying that had they acted faster and more professionally they could have saved lives. Chovanec argued that when the police negotiated with the attacker they thought he was holding hostages and had no idea that the eight remaining people in the pub were already dead.
During the second day of the conference the newly-elected party leadership also heard the first sharp criticism from inside party ranks. Lower house deputy Ivan Pilný said that some of the newly-elected party leaders were using the party as an "elevator to power" and claimed that the result of the vote had been pre-arranged. He was particularly critical of newly-elected party deputy Radmila Kleslová, saying she had a shady past. However he welcomed the election of Environment Minister Richard Brabec and Defence Minister Martin Stropnický deputy leaders, saying they improved the image of the new leadership.
At its weekend election conference the ANO party of the ruling coalition
unanimously re-elected Finance Minister Andrej Babiš its leader and
approved an amendment to the party's statutes, without debate. The
party's new statutes confirm the strong position of the party leader and
modify the rights of the party leadership to give regional heads a greater
say in decision-making. The conference also discussed the party's policy
programme and the measure to which it had managed to implement its
priorities within the ruling coalition.
Party leader, Finance Minister Andrej Babiš, indicated in his opening speech to the conference that the process of fulfilling the party's policy programme was being hampered by the party's coalition partners, particularly the Social Democrats, whom he criticized for overly generous hand-outs of public funds which they wanted to compensate for by raising taxes. Some political commentators read this as a signal of the party's shift to the right and a move to broaden its scope of supporters.
Justice Minister Helena Válková, a minister for the ANO party, has stepped down as announced on March 1st. Ms. Válková tendered her resignation several weeks ago after coming under pressure to quit from her own party which criticised her for allegedly being behind on fulfilling the government's legislative plan and failings in her personnel policy. She is to be replaced by her first deputy, Robert Pelikán who will be appointed to the post on March 15. The party has come under fire for the manner in which the change-of-guard was handled.
A stray dog stopped the C line of the Prague metro for over half an hour on Saturday night. Trains were brought to a standstill after dispatchers were alerted to the fact that a stray dog had been sighted in the tunnel near Muzeum station. Police and firefighter units combed the tracks between Pražské Povstani and Florence and eventually caught up with the dog at I.P. Pavlova. He was captured and handed over to an animal control team.
Real estate agencies are reported to be buying up property in the towns of Horní Jiřetín and Černice which may have to give way to mining if mining limits on brown coal imposed in the early 1990s are relaxed. According to Czech Television two real estate agencies –Double B and Double Pro – have invested tens of millions of crowns into the speculative purchases. City planning authorities in the two towns have confirmed that the said real estate agencies had acquired close to a third of the houses in Horní Jiřetín and Černice in view of making huge profit if the towns are slated for demolition. A decision on whether to relax the limits is expected in the spring.

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has released the Striker GTX 760 Platinum, a new gaming graphics card powered by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 graphics-processing unit, 4GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory, and engineered with exclusive cooling and power-stabilizing technologies.
Sporting ROG's signature red-and-black livery and the color-coded ROG LED load indicator, Striker GTX 760 Platinum graphics card includes DirectCU II cooling, CoolTech fan, DIGI+ voltage-regulator module (VRM), and Super Alloy Power components to ensure cooler, faster, quieter gaming with great overclocking potential.
Striker GTX 760 Platinum's base speed is 1085MHz. When boosted, the clock can be turned all the way to 1150MHz --105MHz and 117MHz faster than reference.
The card features a streamlined body and a bold heat-pipe -- evidence of the DirectCU II cooling technology within. This puts highly-conductive 10mm copper cooling pipe in direct contact with the Striker GTX 760 Platinum's GPU, dissipating heat. Striker GTX 760 Platinum also boasts CoolTech fan technology. The CoolTech fan employs a hybrid blade and bearing design, with inner radial blower, and outer flower-type blades to provide multi-directional airflow that accelerates heat removal.
To aid overclocking adventures, Striker GTX 760 Platinum includes GPU Tweak. This utility gives users intuitive control over GPU and video-memory clock speeds and voltages, cooling-fan speeds, and power targets. The GPU Tweak Streaming tool allows users to share on-screen action over the internet in real time -- so others can watch live as games are played. Users can also add a title to the streaming window along with scrolling text, pictures, and webcam images.

Seven Books Every American Prisoner and Criminal Attorney Should Own
From Blog Critics
It's not always easy to locate quality legal books about prison law or prisoners' rights. For starters, the field is a highly specialized one in which many like to call themselves experts, but few are worthy of such a designation. To make matters worse, lives depend on what is read and put into application. Even from a practical level, law books are often so expensive that simply purchasing several of them in pursuit of the right set is plainly cost prohibitive.
In an effort to cut through all of the blatant self-promotion and other unworthy antics, presented below are seven best buys in the prison law and prisoners' rights arenas. Every criminal defense attorney, prison consultant, and American prisoner should have a copy of each and every one of these books. After all, their lives or the lives of their clients might just depend on it. (more…)
